Batting great Sachin Tendulkar believes that the Indian women's Under-19 team can be one of the outstanding teams in the inaugural ICC Under-19 T20 World Cup. Senior players Shefali Verma and Richa Ghosh are part of the 15-member Indian women's team that will take part in the ICC event starting in South Africa on Saturday. Sachin Tendulkar wrote in a column for the ICC (International Cricket Council), “I would say that the Indian women's team has the potential to be one of the best this time around. He said that the team has a good balance of some experienced players and some young talented players in both the batting and bowling departments.
A total of 16 teams will participate in the tournament in which 41 matches will be played. Tendulkar feels the ICC tournament will have a huge impact on the women's cricket landscape. He wrote, “The Under-19 women's tournament is happening for the first time, due to which there are lot of expectations. I think this scenario can change as a global platform will provide a lot of learning and experience to young women cricketers. There are still areas to be developed. At this time there is a need for a more robust grassroots system across the world. The more we increase the base, the more talent we will be able to find.
